|  Homemade Mecha Walks in Japan
From Slashdot: Quote: | EtherAlchemist writes "Sakakibara Kikai has pictures and even a movie of their Land Walker robot (Babelfish translation here) which appears to work. Powered by a 250cc gas engine and armed with several guns (including 2 that fire Nerf-like balls) it stands at a little over 3 meters. What makes this one interesting is that it is actually armed and it is piloted instead of being an exo-skeleton. Makes me wonder if the creators of shows like Robotech or comics/RPGs like Battletech have any kind of licensening rights on appearance. I'd like to see a Warhammer..." | http://hardware.slashdot.org/article...11236&from=rss
And here is a link to the Babelfish translated site which has a downloadable WMV file of the mecha in action (slow it is, but it works): http://tinyurl.com/5wcr3 |

Yea, I saw that a while back. Not much of bipedal walking...all it does is slides it's feet across the floor...how technologically advanced [/sarcasm]. The pictures and the silent movie are kinda creepy when you just look at them...

And yes, Nubius, those japanese will advance their technology beyond all comprehension. Those asians are killer at math, much better than us western folk. We will just have to beatr them to death with our large *****'. | |
